The first new expansion board we have launched in 2018 is the NFC/RFID Expansion. This board will make use of the PN532 controller chip, which is the most popular NFC chip, and is embedded in pretty much every phone or device that does NFC. It can read and write to tags and cards, communicate with phones (for example payment processing), and ‘act’ like a NFC tag. If you want to do any sort of embedded NFC work, this is the chip you’ll want to use!
NFC (Near Field Communications) is a way for two devices very close to each other to communicate. It is an extension of RFID, so anything you can do with RFID you can do with NFC. You can do more things with NFC as well, such as communicate bi-directionally with cell phones. Because it can read and write tags, you can use this for RFID-tag projects.
I’ve prepared a short video demonstrating the new expansion reading a series of RFID card to determine if they are going to be accepted or not. This video is for you only, and not to be distributed.
